Make the right call! If you see someone in trouble in the water, call 999 and ask for the emergency services.

Talk to young people about safety around water. They should never swim in an unsupervised area like lochs, rivers, sea or ponds where there isn’t an adult to help if they get into trouble.

A mate doesn’t let another mate walk home alone, near the water - find a better route home.
Stay safe.
Plan a safe route away from water.
Look after one another.

We're being told lives could be at risk if vandals continue to remove riverside lifebelts.
It's after the Glasgow Humane Society revealed 800 have been thrown into the Clyde this year.
Duncan and Margaret Speirs have been campaigning to install lifebelts with ropes attached, after their son Christopher slipped and drowned in the Clyde in 2016.
They say the acts of the vandals is careless and could result in further tragedies.
25 Apr 2024
The parents of a Glasgow man who drowned in the Clyde are today taking their fight for water safety to the Scottish Parliament.
Christopher Spiers accidentally fell into the river after a night out in 2016. Despite the best efforts of emergency services the 28-year-old couldn't be saved.
Since then his mum Margaret and dad Duncan have been campaigning for improved safety. They've secured new equipment by waterways across Glasgow and the west, including replacing all missing ropes for life rings by the Clyde.
@spiers_duncan says if they'd been there in 2016 Christopher may still be alive. He's calling on the Scottish Government to get more children water-aware.
